English Elm or Ulmus procera, is a great bonsai tree for beginners to grow in Europe. This video shows you how to do care for English Elms Bonsai which was practically wiped out by the Dutch Elm disease, but does manage to survive well as a Bonsai. As a bonsai it has small leaves, fine branching, great bark with fine furrows and fissures, and forms excellent nebari or trunk and root flare. Find out more and see how one day you maybe able to bring it back to populating Europe again.
The English Elm is a very popular bonsai species. It has, as a bonsai, extremely small leaves. It ramifies very well which means it gets lots and lots of branches and it takes pruning quite easily. Because of that, they make elegant small to very large bonsais and even small mame bonsais.

English elm (Ulmus procera) - bark close up - May 2018
English elms were once a very common sight in the countryside of Europe, North America and Asia. However, this majestic tree was devastated by Dutch elm disease, a fungal infection that claimed an estimated 25 million trees in Britain alone.
Sadly this iconic tree has now all but disappeared from the landscape. It will be remembered on rich farmland soils and parklands throughout the country, it is also a classic hedgerow tree of English lowlands.
Mature English elms can grow to over 30 metres tall, producing a fine wood that has great strength and durability. They are deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the winter and the small winged seeds are dispersed by the wind in autumn.
The bark is dark brown, rough and fissured. Suckers are produced freely from the base of the trunk. Th...

English Elm Bonsai – Caring for an Ulmus Procera
English Elm, also known as Ulmus Procera, is a member of the Elm family of trees, and is native to Europe and Western Asia. It is deciduous tree, often planted as a shade, or avenue tree and can live for over 100 years. Though not a native, it was one of the most common trees in Central Southern England before the Dutch Elm disease, which wiped out majority of the Elms.
The bark of the Ulmus Procera is dark grey-brown, rough, and fissured. Its leaves are oval in shape, pointed towards the end, with an uneven base and visible veins. The tree can grow over 35m and flowers between February and March.
The Elms thrive in most of the soil types and are thus considered as an excellent choice for Bonsai, especially the Chinese Elm, the English Elm and the Scots Elm.

The English Elm is a very popular bonsai species. It has, as a bonsai, extremely small leaves. It ramifies very well which means it gets lots and lots of branches and it takes pruning quite easily. Because of that, they make elegant small to very large bonsais and even small mame bonsais.
When they grow to full trees, their leaves can be 10 centimetres, between 8 – 10 centimetres long. The leaves are generally longer, oval shaped. They’re longer than wider, oval shaped leaves. they are serrated, singularly serrated. The veins are not as pronounced but they are quite pronounced but not as pronounced as a Beech, but they are quite pronounced.
The English Elm died out in the wild because of the Dutch Elm disease but they tend to survive because it doesn’t have enough mass for the Dutch Elm beetle to invade the tree, so it’s a generous way of propagating the English Elm and making sure that it’s there for posterity.
They grow very easily from cuttings. They grow very easily from seeds so they’re easy to propagate, so propagate as many English Elm bonsais as you can because one day they might just discover how to deal with the Dutch Elm disease and we may have the English Elm back in the wild.
You only need to prune in May, June and then again in July, August or September. The branches are a little fibrous so you need to use a sharp scissors so that you have a clean cut.
Repotting in Spring is as good a time as any. As with most native trees, you can repot any time of the year. Just make sure that you protect the tree having repotted in Summer or even in Winter.

English elms were once a very common sight in the countryside of Europe, North America and Asia. However, this majestic tree was devastated by Dutch elm disease, a fungal infection that claimed an estimated 25 million trees in Britain alone.
Sadly this iconic tree has now all but disappeared from the landscape. It will be remembered on rich farmland soils and parklands throughout the country, it is also a classic hedgerow tree of English lowlands.
Mature English elms can grow to over 30 metres tall, producing a fine wood that has great strength and durability. They are deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the winter and the small winged seeds are dispersed by the wind in autumn.
The bark is dark brown, rough and fissured. Suckers are produced freely from the base of the trunk. The twigs are short and hairy. Buds are ovoid, pointed and hairy. Leaves are round to oval, toothed with a rough, hairy surface texture (4–9cm) with very uneven bases at the leaf stalk: a familiar characteristic of all elms.
English elms are hermaphrodites: they have ‘perfect’ flowers with both sexes represented in one flower. Flowers hang in tassels, dark pink to red, and are produced before the tree comes into leaf. The fruits are tiny nutlets encased in the upper part of a thin, oval-shaped, papery wing but they are rarely produced. English elm is wind pollinated.
English elm is native to southern and eastern Europe. Despite its common name, it may only be native to southern England. It is thought to have been introduced by early colonisers.
Full-sized trees are attractive and majestic, and in the past they dominated the English countryside on rich farmland soils. They were also planted as an ornamental tree and have a number of subspecies and hybrids.
The heartwood of English elm is a dull brown colour; the sapwood is paler. Growth rings are irregular and the wood has a coarse texture. The timber is strong and able to resist strains which cause other timbers to split.
The timber can produce a good decorative veneer and has been used to make furniture, chair seats, wooden wheel hubs and, because of its ability to withstand saturation, water pipes, canal barges and boat keels. The leaves were shredded and used as cattle fodder.
English elm was planted extensively during the enclosure movement of the late 18th century. It became a popular hedge species due to its habit of growing and spreading from suckers. It was frequently coppiced and pollarded.
Before metal was widely available, many English towns had water mains supplied from pipes made from elm wood, including Bristol, Reading, Exeter, Southampton, Hull and Liverpool.
Elms used to be associated with melancholy and death, perhaps because the trees can drop dead branches without warning. Elm wood was also the preferred choice for coffins. In Lichfield it was the custom to carry elm twigs in a procession around the Cathedral Close on Ascension Day, then to throw them in the font.
Many birds eat elm seeds and the leaves provide food for the caterpillars of many moths, including the peppered, light emerald and white spotted pinion moths. Caterpillars of the white letter hairstreak butterfly feed on elms and the species has declined dramatically since Dutch elm disease arrived in the UK.
Bark and seed of elm were important source of food in the Europe during the famine at the beginning of the 19th century. Seed were especially prized due to high content of proteins and dietary fibers.
Healthy tree can survive 200 to 300 years in the wild. Elm affected by Dutch elm disease cannot survive more than 30 years.

Mature English elms can grow to over 30 metres tall, producing a fine wood that has great strength and durability. They are deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the winter and the small winged seeds are dispersed by the wind in autumn.
The bark is dark brown, rough and fissured. Suckers are produced freely from the base of the trunk. The twigs are short and hairy. Buds are ovoid, pointed and hairy. Leaves are round to oval, toothed with a rough, hairy surface texture (4–9cm) with very uneven bases at the leaf stalk: a familiar characteristic of all elms.
English elms are hermaphrodites: they have ‘perfect’ flowers with both sexes represented in one flower. Flowers hang in tassels, dark pink to red, and are produced before the tree comes into leaf. The fruits are tiny nutlets encased in the upper part of a thin, oval-shaped, papery wing but they are rarely produced. English elm is wind pollinated.
English elm is native to southern and eastern Europe. Despite its common name, it may only be native to southern England. It is thought to have been introduced by early colonisers.
Full-sized trees are attractive and majestic, and in the past they dominated the English countryside on rich farmland soils. They were also planted as an ornamental tree and have a number of subspecies and hybrids.
The heartwood of English elm is a dull brown colour; the sapwood is paler. Growth rings are irregular and the wood has a coarse texture. The timber is strong and able to resist strains which cause other timbers to split.
The timber can produce a good decorative veneer and has been used to make furniture, chair seats, wooden wheel hubs and, because of its ability to withstand saturation, water pipes, canal barges and boat keels. The leaves were shredded and used as cattle fodder.
English elm was planted extensively during the enclosure movement of the late 18th century. It became a popular hedge species due to its habit of growing and spreading from suckers. It was frequently coppiced and pollarded.
Before metal was widely available, many English towns had water mains supplied from pipes made from elm wood, including Bristol, Reading, Exeter, Southampton, Hull and Liverpool.
Elms used to be associated with melancholy and death, perhaps because the trees can drop dead branches without warning. Elm wood was also the preferred choice for coffins. In Lichfield it was the custom to carry elm twigs in a procession around the Cathedral Close on Ascension Day, then to throw them in the font.
Many birds eat elm seeds and the leaves provide food for the caterpillars of many moths, including the peppered, light emerald and white spotted pinion moths. Caterpillars of the white letter hairstreak butterfly feed on elms and the species has declined dramatically since Dutch elm disease arrived in the UK.
Bark and seed of elm were important source of food in the Europe during the famine at the beginning of the 19th century. Seed were especially prized due to high content of proteins and dietary fibers.
Healthy tree can survive 200 to 300 years in the wild. Elm affected by Dutch elm disease cannot survive more than 30 years.

English Elm Bonsai – Caring for an Ulmus Procera

English Elm, also known as Ulmus Procera, is a member of the Elm family of trees, and is native to Europe and Western Asia. It is deciduous tree, often planted as a shade, or avenue tree and can live for over 100 years. Though not a native, it was one of the most common trees in Central Southern England before the Dutch Elm disease, which wiped out majority of the Elms.
The bark of the Ulmus Procera is dark grey-brown, rough, and fissured. Its leaves are oval in shape, pointed towards the end, with an uneven base and visible veins. The tree can grow over 35m and flowers between February and March.
The Elms thrive in most of the soil types and are thus considered as an excellent choice for Bonsai, especially the Chinese Elm, the English Elm and the Scots Elm.
